„Erddemokratie: Die Rechte der Mutter Erde und das Wohlergehen aller verbinden“ von Vandana Shiva.
Wir stehen vor einer existenziellen Krise mit mehreren Krisenherden.
Die vielfältigen Krisen und Pandemien, mit denen wir heute konfrontiert sind – die Gesundheitspandemie, die Hungersnot, die Armut, die Klimakatastrophe, das Aussterben der Arten, die Ungerechtigkeit, Ausgrenzung und Ungleichheit, die Enteignung und Wegwerfmentalität gegenüber großen Teilen der Menschheit – haben alle ihre Wurzeln in einer Weltanschauung, die auf der Illusion der Trennung und Überlegenheit basiert und die Verbundenheit und Einheit aller Dinge leugnet.
"Earth Democracy : Connecting the Rights of Mother Earth and the Well Being of All" by Vandana Shiva.
We are facing an existential crisis with multiple emergencies.
The multiple crises and pandemics we face today—the health pandemic; the hunger pandemic; the poverty pandemic; the climate emergency; the extinction emergency; the emergency of injustice,exclusion, and inequality; dispossession and the disposability of large numbers of humanity—are all rooted in a worldview based on the illusions of separation and superiority which deny interconnectedness and oneness.
One million species are threatened with extinction, with 200 going extinct every day. Humanity’s present path is clearly non-sustainable because it is destroying life on Earth. Humans, too, are a threatened species. Non-sustainability and the multiple emergencies that are destroying the very infrastructure of life threaten the survival of the human species. Earth Democracy is a worldview, paradigm, and practice based on the recognition that everything is interconnected. The Earth is living. The Earth has rights. And we as humans have duties to care for the Earth and regenerate her soil, seeds, biodiversity, water, and food systems. Our rights flow like a spring from our duties.
